It seems that last week’s HTC Click rumor has now turned into the very official HTC Tattoo — at least, the handsets look remarkably similar (click the image below for a closer look).
Nokia launches the X Series with X3 and X6 handsets
You’ve had a peek at pictures of Nokia’s X3 and X6 handsets, now read on for the details.
Nokia has announced two cellphone handsets in its new X Series range.
Nokia X3
The Nokia X3 is primarily aimed at music lovers, and is the first S40 device to connect straight in to the Nokia Ovi Store as well as the “Comes With Music” service.
Audio-wise, it features a music player, FM radio with RDS, stereo speakers and Bluetooth headset compatibility.
It’s also set up for social messaging, including Nokia Chat, Windows Live! Messenger and Yahoo Go!, plus email, web browsing, games and maps.
Nokia announces N97 mini aimed at social networkers
You’ve already seen the photos and videos of Nokia’s latest cellphone offerings. Now here’s a closer look at the N97 mini
Everyone wants to target “social networkers” these days, it seems. If you spend your time on Facebook and Twitter while on the move, Nokia wants to sell its latest N97 mini handset to you.
Based on the Nokia N97, but marginally smaller and lighter, it packs in a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss Tessar lens with autofocus and flash, VGA video capture at 30fps, A-GPS, and 8GB of internal memory expandable up to 24GB via microSD card.
The Nokia N97 Mini, X3 and X6
And here it is! The N97 Mini is real! So far it looks just like its older sibling. Its features are a tilting 3.2″ touch display, QWERTY keyboard and fully customizable homescreen that makes each Nokia N97 mini as unique as a fingerprint. The Nokia N97 mini delivers a truly personal internet experience in a compact handset based on the iconic design of the Nokia N97.
Nokia X6 and X3
The two new Nokia music phones look blocky – but in a good way – to me. As of press time, there are no specs to go along with the pictures just yet, but expect a huge improvement over the 5800 XpressMusic. Here’s me hoping that Nokia goes for capacitive touchscreens this time.
Expect more Nokia news from Gadzooki as the week unfolds.
Nokia 5800 Navigator Edition Announced
For those who took the plunge and became an early adopter for the 5800 XM, here’s a bit of bad news. First, the cheaper but not exactly lower-end version of this phone, the 5530, is almost coming out.
And now Nokia announced that a Navigator Edition of the 5800 is coming out pretty soon. It still uses the same specs as the older model, but this phone has been made to replace your Personal Navigation Assistant. The phone comes with lifetime voice-guided drive and walk navigation licenses and accessories like car charger and car-mount kit.
The phone will come out this quarter for around $400.
Nokia announces N900 running Linux-based Maemo software
It’s a busy old time for Nokia at present. After the stunning Booklet 3G announcement and new 5230 touchscreen phone (plus the introduction of Nokia Money) comes the new Nokia N900 handset boasting a new version of the Linux-based Maemo mobile operating system.
Claiming to offer a PC-like experience on a handset-sized device, the Nokia N900 is an evolution from Nokia’s previous Internet Tablets and runs Maemo 5 which allows multiple applications and windows to be open and running at the same time (take that, iPhone)
The N900 runs on an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, comes with up to 1GB of application memory, features OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration, 32GB of storage (expandable to 48GB via microSD) and a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics.
Nokia announces 5230 touchscreen cellphone
Following news of its first notebook PC, Nokia returns to its roots with the introduction of the touchscreen Nokia 5230 handset.
Designed to be a simple yet comprehensive multimedia device, it can handle applications from Nokia’s Ovi Store, plays music and video, offers mobile Internet, and has A-GPS and Ovi Maps built in.
Exact specifications aren’t available yet, though we do know that in Europe it will cost €149 (that’s currently around $210) but will likely be subsidised. In some regions it will be bundled with the Comes With Music service, and in this case will cost €259 ($370).
Orange launching world’s first Welsh language mobile phone
I’m quite surprised that no-one has thought to develop a mobile phone with a basic dictionary and commands displayed in the Welsh language, but apparently UK mobile network Orange has declared a world first on this one.
In partnership with Samsung, those whose native tongue is Welsh will have access to the Samsung S5600 which has been programmed to include over 44,000 words. This will make it a lot easier to send predictive SMS text messages.
Available on both contract and pay-as-you-go from 1st September, the S5600 is a more affordable 2.8-inch touchscreen cellphone with a range of interesting features and widgets.
Nokia 5800i: Wifi-less. Waitwhatwhy?
In a move that left me scratching my head a lot, Nokia is readying an update to their venerable 5800 XpressMusic. I guess to sell cheaper units, Nokia decided to release a version of the 5800 that does not have wifi.
The new unit is called the 5800i, and it may have all the bells and whistles of its older brother, the one thing that’s missing is the wifi radio.
Check out the report from Unwired Review:
Nokia 5800i XM just passed through FCC, and all the documents show pretty much the same handset, with similar specs and looks as the original 5800. Except for the Wi-Fi connectivity, which is lacking in Nokia 5800i.
This is pretty weird, because most of Nokia’s ‘i’ phones are minor upgrades of the previous model. I don’t know about you guys, but 3G I can live without, but wifi?
There’s no news yet on pricing, but I’m thinking Nokia wants something in the price range of their upcoming 5530 (which I am so excited for).
What do you guys think?

Mini Nokia N97 Spotting
Did you ever think that they would come out with a tiny version of the Nokia N97? Kunal Gangar at Tech Ticker wrote a blog post on the “leak” yesterday and not only did he write about it – he showed pictures! Take a look at that.
At this point, the phone seems to be at the prototype stage. It has no proper name yet, but it does have the label “N00.” Taking a close look at the image, it is easy to see that it resembles the Nokia N97 very closely. Obviously, the screen is much smaller as well. More than that, the keypad has been tweaked a bit. They did away with the directional pad and replaced it with buttons instead.
Based on other unofficial information from Xataka, here are other specs of the N00:
Another change in the Nokia N97 Mini would be the reduction of internal storage space, which is 8 GB. All other specifications remain very similar, with a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, 3G connectivity and Wi-Fi and FM transmitter and receiver.
They say that the information has come from an employee of Vodafone, which may have the contract with Nokia. Naturally, nothing has been confirmed or denied. That has not stopped people writing about the N00 and speculating about it all over the web, though. This includes some bits of info including the idea that the phone might be out before the year ends. I am not a big fan of Nokia but it is quite exciting, isn’t it?
